i just have had some different experiences.. where they claim to be in love.. Yes, this is their hook. take a month of your time and hours on end and suddenly dissapear.. They may have found a more suitable person to con. Maybe you weren't 'biting' on all of their ususal 'lines' so they decided to move on. If that's the case then you are lucky

• Communication is vague, difficult to understand or is repeated. • Immediate (within 15 minutes) responses are received every time you send a message, with no discussion beforehand as to when you'll be online. • Email messages change in tone, language, style or grammar throughout the communication. This could evolve over time, or it could be apparent in just one email. • A sob story is shared early on that changes quickly from an annoyance into an emergency - and only you can help. It can be very heady to have an ongoing email chat with someone who is focused entirely on you. In fact, this is a great sign that the person on the other end of the conversation is truly interested and invested in learning more about who you are. Where the danger lies however, is not their interest in you as a person, but rather that they don't offer any detailed, personal information about themselves in return, or doesn't really answer your emails in a personal manner, but rather changes the topic with each contact. Appropriate responses are integral to determining whether or not the relationship you are creating is based in reality and not a potential internet dating scam. Could the person emailing you be merely copying and pasting responses from a pre-determined outline or script, or do their emails really seem to "get" you and offer some sort of individualized attention? Although cliche, the saying holds true for internet dating scams: if the person's photo looks too good to be true, that's because it probably is. Of course models, actors and other extremely attractive people want to find love too, and you may very well have lucked out in the attractiveness category with the person you are communicating with online. But if your online date also falls into one of the other internet dating scam categories listed here, then you may want to do a bit more investigating, first.

scammers are like roaches, very hard to get rid of. I would much rather be where the site cares to get rid of them when they find them, rather than leave them for whatever reason

It is kinda sad when anyone plays with your emotions. You become a little hardened by it. What I have learned is that there are some truely sweet people here. I hate to see anyones feelings hurt....

i don't find myself as attractive...but the ones online emailing me seem to be.. that is what i find strange... First, all you need is a mirror to see that you are beautiful. Every guy on here already knows this. Second, they will ALWAYS use the best looking pictures that they can find to get your attention. Another clue that they are a scammer is that their profile says something to the effect "Looking for guy (or woman) 18-70."
